COSTA RIcAN FLOWERS.
A Region Where Nature Is More Flor

A Region Where Nature Is More Flor
 escent Than Anywhere Else.
 A San Jose Costa Rica) corre- spondcnt writes: Nowhere is nature more forescent than in this portion of Costa Rica, where the choicest treas ures of the tropics not only grow spon- taneously, but develop themselves into new and astonishing varieties. Here the orchids are peerless in variety of form and color, and diffuse ineffable fragrance. Though growing parasit- ically on the trunks and branches of trees, upon fences and housetops, or whatever they can attach themselves, they draw nourishment only from the atmosphere, each flower generally re- maining in blossom about three months. Some of them are as sim gularly freakish as though endow- ed with animal life, assuming the most grotesque shapes in imita- ton of beasts, birds and reptiles. Often it is difficult to believe that the bright thing fluttering above Tn all its brilliancy of coloring is not huge butterfly; others are like spiders, bees, bull heads, fishes, etc., and the others shudderingly like wriggling Hazards or gracefully swaying serpents. They abound in greatest profusion and most fantastic loveliness in the deep, damp forests, where man seldom penetrates, yet have been known to thrive well when transferred to city gardens. They have been largely exported of late years to the United States and England, in the latter country being so highly prized that have known one fragile plant to bring the fabulous price of S700i
 The flower most greatly valued in Costa Rica (which is really species of orchid) has been given the name of esperito santo, or Holy Ghost" The base of the blossom is pure white, in the perfect form of a large vase or chalice, while escaping from within it is the complete similitude of an ex- quisite dove with outstretched wings. So striking is the resemblance that the superstitious natives attach to it su- pernatural meaning, and the neglect to cross one's self at the sight of the phenomenon would be construed into proof conclusive of rank heresy. The most irreverent Yankee, however, would feel like taking off his hat before such wonder as I lately saw clinging to the red tiles of house top-an enormous cluster of espiritos santos burst simultaneously into bloom, form ing a mammoth and magnificent bou- quet. Above the multitude of snowy vases thousand doves appeared to be lowering, their outspread wings-in various shades of purple, from the deepest tint to palest lilac-shimmer- ing with recent dews, as though pow dered with diamond dust s.

AN OCEAN TRAGEDY.
How Captain Langsford Was Killed by {
 Monster Sword-Fish.

Monster SWord-t1Sh.
 A bulletin of the United States Fish Commission just issued gives the fol- lowing account, as described in a let ter to Prof Baird, of the killing of a man by q sword-fish:
 1.-The schooner Venus is small ves- sel of about twelve tons, owned and commanded by Franklin D. Langsford. of Lanesville, Mass, with a crew oi three men, engaged in the general fish cries off the coast of Massachusetts. On Monday morning, August g, Captain Langsford sailed from home in pursuit of sword-fsh. About eleven O clock in the morning, when eight miles north east from Halibut Point, in Ipswich Bay, fish was seen. The captain. with one man, taking dory, gave chase, and soon harpooned the fish, throwing over buoy with a line attached to the harpoon, after which the fish was left and they re- turned to the vessel for dinner. About an hour later the captain, with one man, again took his dorY and went out to secure the fish. Picking up the buoy. Captain Laugsford took hold of tho line, pulling his boat toward the sword-tish, which was quite large and not badly wounded. The line was taut as the boat slowly neared the fish, which the captain intended to lance and thus kill it. When near the fish, but too far away to reach it with the lance, it itquickly turned and rushed at and under the boat, thrusting it's sword up through the bottom of the boat twenty-three inches. As the fish turned and rushed toward the boat the line was suddenly slacked, caus- ing the captain to fall over on his back; and while he was in the act of rising the sword came piercing through the boat ard into his body. At this time another swordfish was in sight near by, and the captain excited and anxious to secure both, raised himself up, not knowing that he was wounded. Seeing the sword. he seized it, exclaim- ing, We've got him, any way? He lay in the bottom of the dory, holding fast to the sword until the vessel came alongside. while the fish, being under the boat, could not be reached. Soon the captain said: I think 1 am hurt, and quite badly When the vessel ar rived he went on board, took a few steps, and fell, never rising again. The boat and fish were soon hoisted on board. when the sword was chopped off to free the boat. and the fish was killed on the deck of the ves- sel. The fish weighed 245 pounds after its head and tail were cut off and the viscera removed; when alive it weighed something over 300 pounds. Captain Lansford survived the injury about three days, dying on Thursday, August 12 of peritonitis. The sword has been deposited in the United States National Museum, "- Washington Star

PROSPEROUS REoeARs.
Professional MendIcants Who Live High

Professional MendIcants Who Live High
 and Keep Business Accounts.
 While thousands of deserving poor are daily dying of slow starvation, writes Paris cores pondent, there are in Paris gangs of professional beggars, like the 'gueux" referred to in Beranger's song, who are happy race. Only few days ago a chiffonier, who would not pay his rent in the Belleville quarter, was ejected from his premises by force, and as the huisser's men were hustling him out sum of money, in gold and silver, amount ing to nearly S4O0, rolled out of his rags. There is also an old story of Parisian blind baggar who was stationed every day on one of the bridges, and to whom a passing Samaritan once gave a gold louis instead of franc. Having discovered his mistake, the aims giver went back to the beggar, but found that he had left his post. After having made inquiries in the neighborhood, the person obtained the mendicant's address, whither he repaired in the evening. He found the blind man installed in comfortable villa, the door of which was opened by tidy servant, who said that her master was at dinner and could not be disturbed. The stranger, however, made known his errand, and the beggar sent down a message by his man, saying that it was quite possible that he had taken louis for franc, but that he had not yet made up his account for the day. Finally, the almsgiver was told to meet the blind man on the bridge next day and the error if any, would be recti- fled. Only recently true narrative of the same sort, but with slight variation, was told by Nj. Thivet before the tribunal of correctional police, where a man named Samuel was being tried for beg ging. Samuel is about sixty-four years old, and was in the habit of begging from house to house. When arrested he was found living in comfortable apartment in the Rue Rommines, for which he paid $30 year as rent. An account book was also found in his rooms, in which he en- tered his takings. These in some cases amounted to twenty francs, or five dollars, in one day. M. Thivet, the prosecutor, said that in December last Samuel went to his house and presented himself as a commercial traveller, temporarily out of employment, having wife and family in destitution. He gave him two francs, but seeing him next day going into another house he watched him and found him beg ging. He then had him arrested as pro- fessional mendicant, which was proved by the account book found in his rooms. The tribunal ordered Samuel to be sent to jail for two months.

A Philadelphia Editors Handsome Gift
 to Stratford-on-Avon.
 In the ROther Market at Stratford- 0n-Avon there is now a lofty, spire- like fountain, with clock tower, the gift of Mir. George W. Chil1s to the birthplace of Shakespeare. The base of the tower is square in plan, with the addition of boldly projecting buttresses, placed diagonally at the four corners, terminating with acutely pointed tablets surmounted by lion bearing the arms of Great Britain alternately with the American eagle associated with the Stars and Stripes. On the north face is polished granite basin having the outline of a large segment of a circle, into which stream of water flows constantly. On the east and west sides are large troughs for the use of horses and cattle and beneath these smaller troughs for sheep and dogs. A door on the south side affords admission to the interior, and is fanked by shallow niches, one of which contains barometer and the other a thermom- eter. Immediately over the basins and the door are molded pointed arches, and in oblong spaces between the mar gins of the basins and the opening of the arches are the following inscrip- tions cut into the stone:
 The gift of an American citizen, George W.
 Childs of Philadelphia, to the town of
 Shakespeare, in the jubilee year
 of Queen Victoria.
 In her days every man shall eat in safety Under his own vine, what he plants; and sing The merry songs of peace to all his neighbors. God shall be truly known; and those about her From her shall read the perfect ways of honar, And by those claim their greatness not by blood.

 The next story of the tower has on each face triple arcade, with glazed arches that light a small chamber in which the clock is placed. Above this are the four dials of the clock under croceted gables with finials rep resenting Puck, Mustard Seed, Peas Blossom and Cobwed. The clock-faces project slightly from cylindrical tower flanked by four other smaller three-quarter attached turrets of the same plan; from the main central cylinder springs a spire of slightly concave outline, and the four turrets have similar but much smaller spire- lets all five springing from the same level and all terminating in lofty gilded vanes. -PaiLddeldhiG Record.

GARFIELD'S MEMORY.

 First Decoration Day Speech.

An Anecdote of the Lamented Presidents
 First Decoration Day Speech.
 Let me tell you an anecdote of Garfield's power of memory, said ex-Postmaster- General James to a Des Moines (Ia.) Register correspondent. He related it to me himself. It seems that when D ecor a. tion Day was first started by the voluu- tary action of the people of Washington City, and before it became legal cele- bration, Garfield was chosen to deliver the oration over the dead at Arlingt It was to him an important occasion, for General Grant was to be there, and that galaxy of people who would rule events for some time to come Garfield was a good deal pressed by work in Congress, and he fin ally had to sit up most of the night to write his speech out He got it done somewhere about four o'clock in the morning, and, going to his wife's cham Der, he woke her up and read her the manuscript. It was his habit to comm mi cate to her hls performances and get her criticism. After he had read it he went to bed and slept. The next morning he went over to Arlington with the process sion, and had the manuscript in his pock- ct. When he arose to speak he put it OOWn DelOre Hlu duu Saiu tO uiLnSolA' q will watch the eyes of Grant and these other people and see how long they are interested before l take my manuscript up." So he commenced and delivered his whole address without look. ing at the paper at all. There were short hand writers present, and then they wrote their notes out that afternoon these were sent to Garfield to be revised. He was astonished himself to find that he had delivered almost literally transcript of the manuscripts he had composed, and in the few instances where he had depart ed from that mode he had strengthened the expression.

 Extraordinarily large catches of sardines have been made this season at Dark Harbor pool, Grand Manan. The place is said to be land-locked, and the wonder is how the fish got in there. Already, it is stated, over two hundred hogsheads of sardines have been caught, and there seems to be just as many left in the pool.

 A carat of gold received its name from the carat seed, or seed of the Abyssiniau coral flower. This was at one period made useful when gems of gold were to be weighed and so came about the peculiar and now general use of the word. Twenty-two carats fine means that out of twenty four parts twenty two are gold and all the rest alloy.-Harper's Bazar.
 Nine hundred and ninety persons in thousand would say that a baby in the cradle would be likely to live long, i CT than a man of 65, but statistics prove indisputably that 800 in every 1, 900 in- fants die before the age of years is recorded, while out of 1000 healthy men aged 65 more than 800 of them will. be alive in five, or in ten years, or even longer time. So it will be seen that man of 65 may be considered younger than an infant as far as his chances of future life are concerned.
